Somewhere in my engine (that is, my car's engine), I have a vacuum leak,
probably, and I can't find it and it seems a smoke machine is the most
reliable way to find it.

Machines sell for $100 to $900, and I posted a video on how to make one
for about $30.

Another video suggested using a vape pen!

Looked at 5 vape webpages and only one item on one page didn't require
buying the pen and the liquid separately**, usually totally separately,
from different sources. Fortunately, the one exception was also the
cheapest.

Just $11 plus 1.30 excise tax plus $13 shipping, about $25.

**Not counting disposable fruit-flavored, which are illegal to sell in
Maryland. Not by mail or in person.



The email said it would be USPS Priority Mail and pointed out that
delivery would have to be IN PERSON signed for by someone over 21 years
of age.

My upstairs doorbell is broken and I can't hear the downstairs doorbell.

Do you think the mailman will leave the package without a signature, or
will I have to wait to the next day or pick it up at the post office?

Since the sender bought service that requires someone over 21 to sign
for it, I doubt very much that the postman is going to leave it without
a signature, for obvious reasons.

I thought so too, and so did my savvy friend who lives in Baltimore.

But by golly, he left it on the bench outside, without seeing me. I was
still asleep; I don't know if he even rang the doorbell.

And on the tracking web page, it says it was signed for by me!

And it says on the Priorty Mail mailing label:

USPS ADULT SIG 21 OR OLDER


I'm glad he did and I'm not going to tell anyone but you guys, but... if
you were his boss and you discovered that he didn't get the signature,
would you chastise him, fire him, give him days off without pay?

Tell him that he did the right thing ignoring stupid regulations.
